MARYLAND Dunkards.

The members of the Dunkard
church in this city, who are by no
means few, will be Interested in
knowing that a valuable historical
sketch of their sect has recently been
published. From it we learn that
the Dunkards consisted at first of
Mack and few of his neighbors.
They soon increased in number, and
several churches were built, in which
their simple but impressive services
were held, Although leading peace
full and harmless lives, they were
prosecuted by the State and were
driven to seek refuge In other lands.
Many fled to Holland and the Duchy
of Cleves. Whether they met with
similar treatment there or not we are
unable to state, but shortly after they
all emigrated to America. The first
families arrived in 1719 and settled in
Germantown. In 1873 company
emigrated from Pennsylvania and
established themselves in Western
Maryland, where their numerous
churches and large numbers at the
present day are proof abundant of
their religious activity and zeal.
There are IN Washington county no
less than IA churches, and almost as
many In this county, with consid-
cradle membership. Those at
Keedysville and Beaver Creek are
the oldest in Washington county.
The latest addition is the one on East
Washington street, in Hagerstown.
The one at Sharpsburg has become
famous because Of the part it played
in the battle of Antietam for it was
about this old building that the bat
tie ragged most fiercely. There it was
that the three corps of Hooker, Mans
field, and Sumner were completely
shattered while attempting to turn
Jackson's flank; four generals and
nearly all the commissioned officers
were slain, and brigades were reduc-
ed to mere handfulls. The walls of
the old church were shattered by
shot and shell, but they have since
been repaired, and show no marks of
the deadly conflict in which they took
so conspicuous a part. Many of the
most prominent citizens in this
county are descended from old Dun
kard families: The Newcomers,
Millers, Weltys, Snivelys, Rohrers,
Middlekauffs, Funks and Witmers.
of Washington county were original
ly members of the Dunkard church.
They are still large and influential
denomination, and it is we'll known
fact that they have in one district the
Wealthiest congregation in that coun-
ty. The membership of the cozy lit
tie church of the sect on West Fourth
street, this city, is continually in
creasing and the services are we'll at

Mexico Shaken

CITY OF MEXICO, May 9.-The
Government to-day received its first
information regarding the disastrous
earthquaes on the third inst. at the
town of Bahispo, in the district of
Montezuma, Sonora. by which $50
persons lost their lives. The earth
quake occurred at $3.50 P. NJ. At the
same time the volcanic eruptions be-
gan in the neighborhing mountains.
lighting up the SUBMITS for a long
distance.
The prediction is made here by To-
cal scientists that Mexico is about to
undergo general sciesmic conyul-
sion, and recent records of earthquake
shocks show that there is wide
spred volcanic activity from one end
of Mexico to the other.
The earthquake last Tuesday Gre
ated sad havoc in the northeastern
portion of Sonora, Mexico. This
portion of the State is far from the
railroad or Geographic communica-
ton. The following dispatch was
received here to-day from Luis E .
Torres, Governor of Sonora:
HERMosILLE, Mex, May s.
"The last earthquake caused terri.
Die damages in Montezuma and de-
stroyed several villages, but those in
the northeastern part suffered the
most. Oputa had all its houses de-
stroyed and nine persons " ere killed.
Bahispo was utterly destroyed, $50
people being killed. The houses
were leveled to the ground. A new
volcano appeared, and its eruption
destroyed all timber and pastures of
adjoining valleys and mountains.
Further details are expected hourly"
The volcano mentioned in this dis
patch is in the famous Sierra Madre
mountains. In this place q pretty
severe shock of earthquake was felt
this morning at two O'Clock.

20 the Republicans of Maryland.

The following excellent article
from the pen of a prominent Repub-
hcan of the Sixth Congressional Dis
trict appeared in the Edston Star.
No apology is needed for its repro
duction; it speaks for itself:
The election to take place in this
State within the next twelve months
are the most important state cleo
tions that have been held for more
than twenty years. In November
we elect Governor, Comptroller,
Attorney General and a new Legis-
lature. which will in all human prob
ability call a Constitutional Conyen-
tion, the members of which will in
that event be elected one year from
now. The Constitution framed by
this Convention will be an organic
law for at least twenty years.
The duties of the Republican par
ty of the State are important and the
responsibility resting upon it is
heavy.
We desire to ask our fellow Re-
publicans whether they recognize
the necessity Of steady, jealous and
intelligent effort to secure to the
State and to our party all the benefits
that can be derived from the coming
elections.
Is the party in shape to make an
EFFORT creditable to itself.and useful
to our people generally? Are we so
organized as to be able to make a
successful contest? Are a0e organic
ed dt aUs Haze we been at any time
&a the past sic gears?
A party without a thorough Or
ganization eoextensiye with the
State, may make spasmodic efforts,
but it cannot sustain a great conflict
with chances of success. We have
been for years mere scattered guer-
rillas, often fighting CALAMITY in our
part Of the field Of battle, and occas-

in some local contest, but never hay
ing our forces SO arranged and ham
died as to give any hope of success in
the State.
It isEurely incumbent on the lead
ers of the party to remedy this great
evil. And 1t should be done at once.
Without some steps are taken out
of the order that has been followed
for years past. we will be able to ac-
eomplish nothing. Let us see how
we will stand. Our nominating con-
Yention will not be held before the
latter part of September: our pres
ent State Central Committee, chosen
In September, 1885, will meet to call
that convention and will do nothing
more: our new State Central Com
mittee will meet for organization and
will choose its chairman somewhere
about the 25th ofSeptember, and will
have five or six weeks for campaign
work. But the Committee will be

Gen. Beauregard, in a letter pub
lished in New Orleans, makes an
other reply to Jefferson Davis recent
charges against his military action in
the late war. He closes by warning
Mr.. Davis to be content with the
kindness of the Southern people in
judging him by his motives and not
by his performance, and to avoid
bringing down unpleasant criticisms
upon himself through his unwarran-
ted attacks upon others.

within week or ten days, and there
will be no possibility of having this
work of registration, the most i'm
portant work of the campaign, at
tended to. Moreover the party hay
ing no official head-no organization
to look to for guidance and leader
ship-is lifeless, discouraged, hope
less. Men of standing and ability,
seeing nothing to indicate that the
party is ready to do anything. natur-
ally withdraw from participation in
hopeless and lifeless contest, and
decline to allow their names to be
used as candidates, and when the
time comes for nominations to be
made, some makeshift is resorted to
and we go into the contest with de-
feat already inscribed on our ban
ners.
The chances of success in the com
ing elections are good, if we are
equal to the occasion. If we can Or
ganize in time, get our men to work,
stir up the enthusiasm of our voters.
secure first rate men as our candi-
dates and avail ourselves of our adj
vantages, we can make an attack on
the discordant and beligerant ranks
of the Democracy of the State, that
may be entirely successful, and that
must give US strength enough in the
Legislature and the Constitutional
Convention to enable us to do much
good and to avert much evil.
And in this we will have the good
wishes. and as we believe. the active
cooperation of many of the best men
in the Democratic party of the State,
who have become sickened and dis
gusted at the way in which their
party has been made the subseryient
tool of tricksters and ruffians-and
who will rejoice to be relieved of the
eyer that blessed relief may come.
We appeal to our brothers of the
Republican Press of the State to take
this matter up at once and urge it
upon the notice of their friends I'M
til something shall be done. 1t is in
their power to set the ball in motion,
and their efforts will be hailed with
joy by many good Republicans who
are looking out for some ray of light
that betokens a revival of their par.
ty, and who are ready to fall into
the ranks and do their duty man.
fully as soon as they see that there is
to be real effort to attain success.
Again we appeal to the Republic
cans throughout the State, from the
Eastern Shore to the Mountains of
Alleghaney from Cecil to st.
Mary's; and to the many thousands
good men and true, in the great city
of Baltimore, to 60 to work with
courage and resolution determined to
secure success. In the language of
"gallant Henry Clay" on a similar
occasion we say to the Republicans
Of Maryland awake Arise shake
off the dew drops that glitter on your
garments. and once more march to

Switzerland, Fla, 10Th April, 1877.
Post sc,iptstm: 1t was my purpose,
in connection with foregoing matters,
to make mention OF most disastrous
and truly depIorabie visitation upon
the ancient city, St. Augustine, early
in this month-the most runiou5 fire,
perhaps. in extended history of the
old town. The aggregate loss, it is
computed, reaches halfa million dol
lars, and this was mainly in hotel
property. several of the prominent
houses of this class having been con-
sumed. A bank also, together with
number of business and dwelling
houses, were destroyed, and the
county court house, in which some
of the records of our county were
lost. But the loss specially to be de-
plored, and which will be felt by the
country at large, was that of several
truly historical structures. OF these
one was the old Spanish CdthreClroL,
built full 200 years ago, but with its
predecessors, reaching back to 1866.
AT its completion, a hundred years
back, the cost of this holy edifice,
was placed at about $1,000. Its
value was not however, in dollars,
but in years. 1t was here that the

A Wrecked Raft.

There was recently published in
Harper's Weekly a picture of a huge
raft of timber 500 feet long, 65 feet
wide, 30 feet high, drawing 20 feet of
water and made up of 1000 logs, that
was started from the Bay of Fundy
and, it was thought, could be tOwed to
New York, thus saving the ship build
er who owned the logs, the expense OF
paying regular freight. The scheme
was thought by some likely to revolu
tionize the business of carrying logs on
the ocean but it was not a success.
The tow line broke and the captain of
the tug that had the raft in tow was
obliged to desert the monster in order
to save his own life and the lives of his
crew, and for some days mariners on
the New England coast were in mo-
mentary fear of running into it. La
ter the raft went to pieces and now
each individual stick that composed it
is feared almost as much as was the
thing itself. Some of these logs are 80
feet long and six feet in diameter and
could do considerable damage if put in
the right place.

Everything Lovely.

The Rutland Herald quotes approx
ingly from the Atlanta Constitution a
paragraph giving expression to the de-
sire that the next campaign may be
free from the personalities that have
characterized previous political con-
tests. 1t looks as though the Presi-
dent had contributed to this end by
presenting subject that demands at
tention and may be-discussed on a
high level. The republicans are re-
iOiced at the stand Cleveland takes
and declare that he has cut his own
throat; the democrats are delighted
with Blaine's manifesto and declare
that it is enough of itself to insure his
defeat. With both parties perfectly
satisfied and both sure of success it
really ought to be a very happy sort of
a campaign and one in which nothing
but the very incest of nice things
should be said. Let us all hope and
pray that such will prove to be the
case.

RYEGATE.
Concerning TOp-Dressing.

Some of our farmers tOp-dress to
great advantage putting it on in the
fall and sometimes in the winter.
Some believe they get the best results
when spread on the snow. If the
ground is not frozen there is no doubt
of that being a fact and even if frozen
if it is not too stiff the rule will hold
true. w. w. Wright puts on about
10 loads per acre and goes over his
entire moving land. Uses a fine tooth
ed harrow on all of it and when the
grass is light and ground stony, uses
a disk harrow and thoroughly tears up
the surface sOws plenty of grass seed
and rolls. On such ground the past
season he has cut three tons per acre.
N. H. Kicker applies liquid as well as
solid manure and often buys large
quantities of straw to use freely for
bedding and as an absorbent. He cuts
from two to four tons per acre. Geo.
Cochran puts on about 8 loads per acre
(his cart holds 40 bushels) and puts it
on each season. The past season he
cut from six acres SO large loads esti-
mated at 1900 lbs. to load, or over
four tons per acre. He makes a large
amount of manure by putting in muck,
coarse grass, leaves, ETC., for his hogs
to work over. The horse manure also
goes into the mixture and from only
three horses by the means stated and
helped by plenty of hogs, he has taken
out 100 loads of good manure. These
men all cut their hay twice. w. N. G.
The sleighing is capital, and every
body seems busy with their firewOOd.

butter sold the proprietors of the res
taurant in the Boston g. Lowell depot
at Boston have had 1886 lbs. for which
they have paid $l04O.I6. This is the

run from 30 to 80 cents a pound.

The Way of a Transgressor.

Frank McNealy, the youthful Saco,
Maine bank rObber, was arrested at
Halifax Friday, having arrived there
from England on the preceding Tues
day after a trip half way round the
world. The police found they could
not hold him legally and he is dis
charged. 1t is said that all the miss
ing bonds will be returned to the
bank. McNealy's experience furnishes
illustrations of the value of a sturdy
character that can withstand tempta-
ton and of the fact that ill-gotten
gains bring neither comfort nor pleas
ure to him who has them. In his con-
fessiOn McNeally says that the idea of
stealing the bonds and money entered
his mind on the afternoon of Aug. 81.
and minute later they were in his
pocket, within an hour he jumped on
board train and was on his flight.
Within two hours after he left he
would have given the world if he
could have returned to Saco before
the bank opened in the morning and
replaced the securities, but he was too
far away in Vermont. So he continued
t. Montreal, and from there he took
steamer for Liverpool. At Cairo,
